Zach Brewer has a plan. Win a state football championship, get recruited to a top college, and enjoy his senior year as much as possible. What he didn't count on is being up to his neck in debt. Being a member of an exclusive gambling ring has its perks, particularly the high stake tables, but getting shook down by two thugs has a way of ruining the appeal. Not sure what to do, he pleads with the one girl who could help. Riley Martinelli's life is simple. Attend school and help her brothers run their underground gambling club. The club is the only thing keeping her family out of bankruptcy since her dad got hurt. Faced with losing their house, her brothers are determined to collect every penny owed. When Zach, her long-time crush, asks for help, she desperately wants to give it but she can't do much without hurting her own family. As Zach and Riley navigate through peer pressure, family expectations and broken hearts, they must ask themselves an important question. How much are they willing to risk to get what they want?
